Detoxification services are available for people in Dixon who need assistance coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they have to endure to detox on their own. Many physical and psychological difficulties come with this process because the body begins to go through drug and/or alcohol withdrawal, the symptoms of which can range from flu like effects to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Dixon, IL. detoxification facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional assistance to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of an extensive drug treatment facility that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain abstinent.
